S-92 simulator at CAE Brunei Training Centre

CAE, July 09, 2014 - Montreal, Canada - The CAE Brunei Multi-Purpose Training Centre (MPTC), a joint venture of CAE and the Ministry of Finance of Brunei Darussalam, today announced that its new CAE 3000 Series S-92 full-flight simulator (FFS) was certified by the European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) to Level D, the highest qualification for flight simulators, and is now ready-for-training.

"This represents yet another significant milestone in the development of the CAE Brunei Multi-Purpose Training Centre and we are pleased to make S-92 training services available to customers in the region to support safe operations and crew readiness," said Kevin Speed, Vice President - Asia, Defence & Security, CAE and Director of the CAE Brunei MPTC.

The CAE 3000 Series helicopter mission simulator features unprecedented realism for helicopter-specific mission training, including offshore oil and gas, Search and Rescue (SAR), and other types of operations. The simulator enables pilots to practice -- without risk -- challenging procedures such as low-level flight, confined area operations, autorotation and landing on platforms at sea.

The CAE Brunei MPTC facility in Rimba, Brunei Darussalam will be continuing to introduce new training programs over the next year in addition to S-92 training. The CAE Brunei MPTC will also offer flight-training services for S-70i Black Hawk and PC-7 trainer aircraft where the training emphasis will be on safety and mission readiness. In addition, the CAE Brunei MPTC is establishing a comprehensive Emergency Management and Crisis Management Centre of Excellence that will support disaster preparedness for Brunei and other Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN).
